Make salsa even in a power outtage (Take note, California),
April 19, 2001 This review is from: Norpro Mini Food Processor Salsa Maker (Kitchen)
If you mainly want to chop onions, tomatoes and herbs, this is a very useful and effective tool. As to salsa, it whips it up in a very few minutes. When your tomato crop comes in this summer, you will love it. (Here's an evil little party secret; even canned tomatoes, hot sauce, onion, and your homegrown cilantro taste better than some bottled salsas and cost a LOT less. It's a great way to use up those mini packets of hotsauce from the fast food taco restaurant)It's also easy to clean this small bowl. Many people buy mini- processors to avoid cleaning the big, cumbersome bowl of a full-sized food processor. As long as you aren't chopping hard, rubbery stuff like nuts and parmesan cheese, this is an inexpensive, good alternative. And since it is hand-powered, you can make salsa even during a power outtage.

I like to cook and I have tried many kinds of choppers. I lose their cords. The food gets stuck or doesn't even chop finely. I can take this in my motor home and have fresh salsa plus chop my onions, bell peppers and many other vegetables to my liking. The blades are very sharp and do an excellent job with little effort. It's great!

I had a salsa maker that received much use. First one of the plastic gear teeth broke from not having the tomatoes chopped small enough. I kept using it until the handle pylon failed due to fatigue loads. The handle pylon to top mold area should be designed with a much larger radius to reduce fatigue failures.This salsa maker is much smaller than my previous one (about half the capability). It also has a hole only about .38" diameter, though the photo indicates it to be much larger. This is next to useless since you must remove the top to put any non-liquid ingredients in (what a pain). I also feel that over time the pylon will succumb to fatigue stresses since the design is the same as my last one. The two speed feature is nice and the blades are very sharp, but the instruction manual says not to chop hard foods, such as nuts. It's a good thing I have an electric food processor since this one will not do it well.Overall it is a nice salsa maker, but I could design a better...Read more
